Game Over; see page 20 for roles and results.

[Mr. Flay]

Of course, this would all be a lot easier if you weren't sure that some of you haddunnit. Two of you, in fact, though you're not sure who else is what. Here's the possibilities:

2 people are

Mafia:

You are

Mafia

, along with your partner _________. Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only you remain; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched (if that someone is not your partner or yourself, that will make things much easier). You may talk with your partner when it is not Day, and send me a choice via PM of who you wish to kill.

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no kills will happen until Night One.

Either 1 person, or nobody, is a

Doctor:

You are the

Doctor

, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person they protect will never die on the night they are protected). You may not protect yourself.

Either 1 person, or nobody, is a

Cop:

You are the

Cop

, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Mafia or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues). You cannot investigate yourself.

The rest of you (3, 4, or 5, for those keeping count) are

Townies:

You are a

Townie

, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think. Help lynch Mafia during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.

This is commonly known as the

C9

setup, for reasons mostly known to Norinel.

Even though many games start with Night, newbie games begin with Day once everyone has confirmed that they understand their role. Scum are allowed to talk by PM in the pre-game stage, but no other "night actions" may be taken.

Rules:

• Votes should be in bold for them to count, like this:
  Vote: John
  . Unvotes should likewise be bolded (
  Unvote: Jane
  ) so that I can spot them easier.
• A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life. If a deadline is imposed, the required number of votes will be lowered, so be careful.
• Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be shorter if all night choices are in before the deadline.
• Dead men tell no tales. If you get killed, stop talking until the game is over (a single "Bah!' post with no game information is acceptable).
• Do not discuss this game with other players outside of this thread, unless your role PM specifically stated you could do so (as scum, and then only at night).
• Do not directly quote any PMs you receive from me; I have already posted the roles above, but this holds true for any future messages you receive from me as well.
• If you see something you don't understand,
  ASK!
  Newbie games are here for people to learn and understand; either I or one of the other players will respond to your question. If it has to do with your role, feel free to PM me directly.
• Treat this game as a commitment; if you're going to be gone for longer than 48 hours (not counting weekends),
  let us know
  . I will replace severely inactive players, but your fellow players may choose to lynch you themselves first.
• Have fun; don't be an ass;
  participate

confirm.

[Mr. Flay]

It is now Day One; with seven of you alive, four votes will lynch.

[Jack]

Well I have a feeling Battle Mage is scum and I'm usually correct on this so

Vote:battle mage

[yakult]

vote: Dio

, for having the shortest name. He must be trying to slip by unnoticed. Unlucky for him, I am sharp as a tack. None of your tricks will slip by me, Dio. Don't even try.

[vollkan]

Vote: ElKabong

for making his name inconvenient to type by including a capital letter; interesting that he is trying to deter people from discussing him.

[Dio]

vote: Dio

, for having the shortest name. He must be trying to slip by unnoticed. Unlucky for him, I am sharp as a tack. None of your tricks will slip by me, Dio. Don't even try.

Oh snap, you clearly are a quick-witted one.

[Jack]

Uh let's put Dio at 2.

Unvote,Vote:Dio

[Dio]

Vote: Jack

A random vote at the start of a game is understandable, but a random vote without a reason at all but to put someone at two is just erotic.

It's understandable, Snoop Dogg turns me on too.

[Jack]

lol @erotic.

My vote wasn't random. I deliberately voted you it should be obvious.

[Dio]

Random as in not stating a reason to why you want to kill me.

[Jack]

I don't want to kill you. I wanted to put you at two votes.

[Dio]

So confused, so confused...

[Jack]

Now I think I'll put Dio at three votes.

Vote:Dio

[yakult]

It's getting hot in herre.

[Dio]

Only because Jack's in here.

[Jack]

Uh where is everybody.
